One in four elderly adults are not regularly getting adequate nutrition. Chronic illness and poor dental health lead to malnutrition and complications that threaten quality of life and even life itself.

Couple an inadequate intake of nutrients with the aging body's growing inability to process all the nutrients from even the foods that are eaten, and the body is left with a lot of high fat and saturated fat food, with little to nourish it.

As lean body mass is lost, total water in the body decreases, body fat increases and bones may weaken.

Busy lifestyles ensure the general population suffers as well.

The Japanese recommends people "eat 30 or more different kinds of foods per day".

That isn't likely given the daily time frame the average working American has to spend in their kitchen today.

Studies have shown that a limited variety of foods is associated with a shorter life span compared to those who regularly dine from the five major food groups: grains, vegetables, fruits, meat and dairy.
